Chapter 5: Super Memory! Tang Xin Comes to Join the Bookmark Vote

Li Jia handed a report card to a very beautiful girl in front of her.

“Xia Yuxi is first in the grade again! Yuxi, well done! You are the pride of our class.”

Li Jia patted Xia Yuxi on the shoulder.

Xia Yuxi was not only first in the grade but also the school beauty of Jiang’an No. 2 High School.

Xia Yuxi was extremely beautiful.

Her skin was fair with a rosy glow, her features were picturesque, and her figure was gradually maturing.

Although she was only eighteen, she already had the makings of a stunning beauty.

She was a goddess high up on a pedestal!

Many people secretly admired Xia Yuxi at Jiang’an No. 2.

But Xia Yuxi had never mentioned who she liked, and no one could think of anyone worthy of her.

Feeling shy from the compliments, Xia Yuxi said, “No, no, I was just lucky… just lucky…”

Tang Xiao and Liu Zihao were also looking at Xia Yuxi.

Liu Zihao nudged Tang Xiao and said, “Xia Yuxi is really amazing, no wonder she’s our school beauty. Tang Xiao, what kind of boys do you think Xia Yuxi likes?”

“How would I know?”

Although Tang Xiao and Xia Yuxi were classmates, he wasn’t very familiar with her.

In his first two years of high school, he had focused all his energy on the Tang family and studying, leaving little room to think about anything else.

At that moment, Xia Yuxi secretly stole a glance at Tang Xiao and then pretended to turn away to continue studying.

Her heart raced.

Tang… Tang Xiao is looking at me! Oh my gosh!

In fact, Xia Yuxi had always had a crush on Tang Xiao.

Tang Xiao and Xia Yuxi had consistently taken the top two spots in their grade.

Normally, one would expect the first and second place students to have a poor relationship.

But if it’s a boy and a girl, the situation is different.

Every time Xia Yuxi looked at the report card, she could see Tang Xiao’s name.

This name was always right next to hers, making her pay more attention to Tang Xiao.

Tang Xiao was tall and slim, fair-skinned, good-looking, and had a particularly nice personality. The more she noticed him, the more she developed feelings for him.

Once in gym class during their first year, Xia Yuxi fainted from a fever.

Tang Xiao immediately rushed forward, picked her up, and carried her to the nurse’s office.

In Tang Xiao’s arms, Xia Yuxi felt dizzy, and her heart raced.

From that moment on, she fell for Tang Xiao.

But this girl was too shy; after being classmates for two years, she had hardly spoken to him.

Xia Yuxi’s glance at Tang Xiao was noticed by Liu Zihao.

Liu Zihao shook Tang Xiao’s shoulder excitedly, “Tang Xiao, Tang Xiao! Xia Yuxi was secretly looking at me! She has feelings for me!”

“Hehe, congratulations,” Tang Xiao replied casually.

Tang Xiao looked at the report card in front of him.

I could have done even better, but I didn’t have enough energy, so I barely managed to come in second.

Tang Xiao was very smart and diligent.

Though his energy was limited while living with the Tang family, his grades had always been good.

However, the Tang family had never cared about this aspect.

The Tang family always thought of Tang Xiao as a good-for-nothing.

The first class was English.

The teacher was lecturing at the front, while the students were taking notes below.

Tang Xiao repeatedly looked at the words in the book.

“Hey? Why do I feel like my memory has improved?”

Tang Xiao noticed that he could remember almost all the densely packed words on the last few pages of the textbook after just a glance.

Thinking it was just an illusion, he memorized another fifty words on the spot.

He was able to remember them quickly and clearly, even recalling several easily confused words without any issue.

The same went for the English texts; after reading them once or twice, he could memorize them completely.

“Wow! Let me try other subjects.”

Tang Xiao took out books from other subjects and quickly read through them.

He could remember everything word for word.

Not only could he memorize them, but his reading speed was also incredibly fast; he could read ten lines at a glance and never forget what he had seen.

He could practically skim through them.

Tang Xiao was overjoyed.

“Oh my God! How did my memory become so strong? Could it be a power from my rebirth?”

Tang Xiao couldn’t figure out the reason, but this super memory

A tall and stunning beauty walked toward the playground.

All the students stretched their necks to look.

She was truly beautiful!

She had a mature, artistic, and sophisticated vibe.

Both boys and girls were captivated by her.

But only Tang Xiao frowned.

Why is she here?

The newcomer was none other than the third sister of the Tang family, Tang Xin.

Tang Xiao wanted to avoid her but was directly called out by Tang Xin: “Tang Xiao! Stop right there!”

The classmates could hear her.

Wow!!!

What’s going on here!!

This beauty is looking for Tang Xiao?

What is their relationship?

But Tang Xiao was already emotionally detached; he looked at Tang Xin with a blank expression: “What do you want?”

Tang Xin was furious.

“What do you mean, what? Do you know what you’ve done? You…”

Tang Xin was about to say more when she noticed dozens of eyes staring at her.

She felt embarrassed.

She wasn’t like Tang Jie; she hadn’t received training in handling this kind of situation.

“Let’s go! To that little grove over there!”

Tang Xin pulled Tang Xiao toward the small grove on the playground.

The classmates immediately began to chatter.

Meanwhile, no one noticed that Xia Yuxi’s eyes were fixed on Tang Xiao and Tang Xin’s backs.

She clenched her hands, feeling anxious.

“Let go!”

Tang Xiao shook off Tang Xin’s grip: “What do you want?”

“You’ve made everyone so upset they can’t even eat. Especially your second sister; she’s been crying and smashing things at home. This is all your doing!”

Tang Xiao frowned.

“I upset Tang Jie? What did I do?”

Tang Xiao directly called Tang Jie by her name, which made Tang Xin even angrier.

“That’s your second sister! You’re being so disrespectful. You left the hospital without coming home or telling us, and now your second sister is being bullied!”

Seeing the chaos at home, Tang Xin became more and more upset, which is why she came to find Tang Xiao.

Tang Xiao laughed in anger.

“Then may I ask, how did I end up in the hospital? I was lying in a hospital bed; did you care at all? Since you didn’t, why should I go back? So you can come at me again?”

As Tang Xiao spoke, he lifted his bangs and pointed to the stitches on his forehead.

“…Dad didn’t do it on purpose.”

Tang Xin also knew she wasn’t entirely justified.

After Tang Xiao was hospitalized, they indeed hadn’t checked on him.

She had only noticed it in the past couple of days.

It seemed there was a bit of favoritism at home, but was it really that big of a deal?

Tang Xiao was being overly petty.

Tang Xin said confidently:

“It’s clearly your fault; you made everyone angry! You went into the study without permission and damaged Dad’s books. You know how much Dad cherishes his books.”

Tang Xiao was speechless.

Here we go again; it’s still my fault in the end.

“Ha, which of your eyes saw me enter the study? Just because you cherish books, does that mean I don’t? Am I that uncultured in your eyes?”

“That’s not what I meant… how about this? Come home with me. Apologize to everyone and clarify the situation; they will forgive you.”

“Huh? You guys beat me up until I was hospitalized? And now I’m supposed to ask for your forgiveness?”

“Tang Xiao, that’s not what I meant. Just come back with me. Tonight is also Zijian’s birthday. No one will blame you.”

“I’m not going! You’re crazy, let go of me!”
